Turn Household Items into Unique Flower Vases

The spring flowers are blooming and if you are waiting until you find the perfect vase before bringing your blooms inside, we have some great ideas for you.  As you know, we are all about recycling and reusing–which is why we love these tips for turning items we already have in our home into unique flower vases.

 

Wine Bottle

Another great excuse to drink more wine.  The narrow bottleneck of a wine bottle is the perfect way to display long stemmed flowers like daisies and roses.  Organic Authority suggests leaving the label on the bottle to give it a vintage look.

Lunchbox

We loved this idea from Pop Sugar.  An old metal lunchbox—or really any tin container—is a great way to create a low floral arrangement, perfect as a centerpiece on your table.  Simply insert floral foam to keep flowers in place.

 

PVC Pipe

Who knew PVC pipe could be so attractive.  With this great tutorial from Modpodgerocksblog.com, you can easily turn plain PVC pipes—and old photos–into beautiful vases for your spring blooms.

 

Colored Pencils

We suggest keeping this idea for an end-of-school teacher gift.  Wrap colored pencils around a soup can, fill the can with water and add flowers.  Click here for complete instructions from HappyClippings.com.  As soon as you are done enjoying your flowers, you can use the pencils!
